Weighing some 950 tons, the bridge that collapsed west of downtown Miami spanned a busy thoroughfare and connected the suburb of Sweetwater, Florida with F.I.U. Luckily, the university was on spring break at the time and thus devoid of large numbers of students who could have been using this new walkway. Unfortunately, several vehicles that were traveling underneath it were crushed by the falling steel and slabs of concrete killing six people. Others were injured, including at least three workers. The injured employees could benefit from the services of a Coral Springs Workers’ Compensation lawyer such as Evan M. Ostfeld, Esquire.

The probe of the bridge collapse will be conducted jointly by criminal investigators and representatives from the National Transportation Safety Board and/or O.S.H.A.

Construction accidents may include among other things, broken bones, neck and back injuries and even amputations.
